Just 10 Android apps account for 43 percent of all usage

According to a new Nielsen survey, just 10 apps account for a full 43 percent of all Android app usage.

On average, a typical user will spend 56 minutes per day on the mobile web or using apps.

The top 10 apps in the market account for 43 percent of that usage, while the top 50 apps account for 61 percent.

Although Nielsen did not publish the names of the apps, we can assume popular apps like Angry Birds, Pandora, Skype and Twitter are near the top.

Says Don Kellogg, director of telecom research and insights for Nielsen (via Rock):

With 250,000+ Android apps available at the time of this writing, that means the remaining 249,950+ apps have to compete for the remaining 39 percent of the pie.

Adobe Flash And I don't use any of those. I downloaded AB Rio when Amazon gave it away for free, but have never played it. I use Facebook, Foursquare, Words With Friends and Nesoid the most.

Um, not sure what market your using but AB Rio has always been free as far as I know...it was free when I got it, and still is. It;s one of my least played games but it is fun to go back to from time to time.

Don't forget some one can find out when your not home. Next thing you know, you come home and find your house broken in to.

Unfortunately for them, all Blu-ray protections have been broken and BD rips can be found around the Internet, usually before the retail even hits shelves.
